Quote:Tourist at Loch Ness spots 'huge dark shape' in waters sparking Nessie hopesArchived Express Article:
'For years, there has been much debate about whether the mythical Loch Ness Monster of folklore actually exists.
A tourist visiting Loch Ness has reportedly claimed to have spotted 65 ft-long dark shape moving just beneath the
surface of the water for several minutes.
Etienne Camel (Rodinus will know him!) The 'Thing' in the water.
Etienne Camel, a pharmacist from Lyon and his wife Eliane were snapping pictures from the west side of the loch
near Invermoriston when they thought to have spotted the long-reputed “monster”. He told the Telegraph: “It was
quite strange.
“I am a man of science so I never believed that the Loch Ness monster is a prehistoric animal. But when I was
taking a picture I saw this long, long shadow. “I called my wife over and we saw the shadow move.”
“I thought maybe it was a cloud, but there was none, or a boat, but none was near or reefs.
“There were small waves, like something was moving. It was 15-20m long and was about 150m away. It was
quite strange and then it disappeared.” He added: “We could not tell if it was an animal, but something was
moving under the water. I have never seen such [things] in lakes – and we have many where we live – before.”
For years and years, there have been theories that a monster lived in Loch Ness - but there has been no real
proof that it existed. The first stories of the monster dubbed “Nessie” emerged in 1933, after Francesca McGarvey
from Castlehead, Paisley, saw a dark shape emerge from the water. The Loch Ness monster is said to be a large
mysterious animal living in the waters of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands.
The earliest reporting of a 'monster' sighted in that area was in the seventh century but others say the reports could
be rationally explained as encounters with similar types of animals. The legendary monster is known to some by the
affectionate nickname 'Nessie'. Some have suggested it may be a descendent of a plesiosaur - a species of water
-dwelling dinosaur - but again, the evidence is sketchy...'
Quote:Local Man Seen Interacting With Summer Favourite Just Off Shore Of Drumnadrochit.
(By our correspondent B. Dress.)
Local residents pretended to be astonished on Sunday, when tourists reported to the proprietors of the nearby
gift-shops of a man spotted behaving in a unusual manner in the nearby bay.
Where the rivers Enrick and Colltie meet to flow into Loch Ness, onlookers seemed bemused by the handsome,
athletic-bodied gentleman that those -who sell their low-quality metal king-rings and Hong-Kong-made bumper
-stickers to daily visitors, recognise as 'Gordi McGordi', gamboling in the peaty waters with the fabled beastie
-just north of Urquhart Castle.
Gordi, who strums to tourists and wrestles the occasional ox that strays near his property, recently caused a stir when
he invaded a meeting at the Unesco World Heritage site in Edinburgh and disrupted Scottish Parliamentary discussions
on whether the London Cockneys were worth hanging on to.
Straddling the imaginary animal with his firm un-rashed thighs, Gordi performed a couple of folk tunes accompanied by
his guitar and something beneath his sporran that kept the beat. Sadly, the gratuities tossed at him sank beneath the
waves, but the applause certainly made-up for any fiscal mishaps.
Asked later by the media on why he engages in this day-of-rest activity, Gordi was reported to have smiled and told the
Reporter to f*ck off. Obviously, Scottish humour is sometimes lost on southern scriveners and so to clear the air, Gordi
ceded to the Journalist's old ruse of abusing their expense account.
